Your next project when you feel up to it. No rush. But to Antje's point, the wrap top looks fab. Now picture the right wrap dress. We are here to help you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-9310 Sat, 31 May 2008 19:46:19 +0000 Nicole 9310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I have to be honest--I really have not tried on many dresses lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-9300 Sat, 31 May 2008 19:23:57 +0000 Angie 9300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quite right Dani - SNN stands for signature Nicole necklace. </p> <p>You’ll be the best judge whether the AT outfit is dressy enough for the wedding. It looked wonderful, and you could wear it to work. </p> <p>Have you tried a wrap dress, Nicole? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-9277 Sat, 31 May 2008 15:58:21 +0000 Dana 9277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, I think SNN is signature Nicole necklace, but I could be wrong. I loved your white &#38; green AT skirt and if the wedding is as casual as you mentioned in other posts, I think you will be dressed appropriately (and very stylishly too)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-9276 Sat, 31 May 2008 15:54:58 +0000 Nicole 9276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shell, all of those dresses are beautiful--I love every single one of them...but I can't wear anything with a seam that falls under the bust. It never lands where it's supposed to. I also can't wear strapless bras. I'm just too big busted.</p> <p>Angie, What SNN? (We need a thread with all our acronyms!)</p> <p>Ana, Someone else posted that dress for themselves while ago (sorry I dont recall who it was). I loved the dress then, but I can't wear anything that draws a line that close to my bustline. It makes my boobs look like they are riding lower than they really are. Reminds me of my NonnyMa--God rest her soul.</p> <p>I'm still thinking the white and green AT skirt is my best option for the wedding. At least so far. I already returned the Kohls dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-9192 Fri, 30 May 2008 23:28:02 +0000 Ana 9192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about this dress? I'm just asking because it reminds me a bit of the Kohl's dress, but it has a V-neck and things. It does have a waist band, but it seems to be down lower than other empire type tops:</p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=35666&#038;pid=574996" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=574996</a></p> <p>I'm thinking about picking this one up as well, probably later in the summer though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-9163 Fri, 30 May 2008 21:05:02 +0000 Angie 9163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the ladies about the dress and a two piece would be better as far as the top-to-bottom size discrepancy goes. Or altering as you suggested. Your body loves V-necks or tops that create a lower neckline as Julia cleverly visualized. </p> <p>The white shirt looks killer! You look extremely hourglass-y in it and it’s very flattering. Nice sleeve length. Love the ruching and the way you’ve layered the cami. I know it’s hard for you to find woven tops that work so a special well done to you. You look beautiful in black and white. Complete the look with the SNN! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-9101 Fri, 30 May 2008 13:41:22 +0000 Julia 9101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tried the last one in store. The shape is good but the fabric is very thin and clingy. I thought it looks better in the picture. Just wanted to give you my piece of experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-9081 Fri, 30 May 2008 02:47:15 +0000 shell 9081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>nicole - i think your best bet for a dress would be something with a defined top, middle, and bottom. i'd try something with an empire waist and a fuller skirt to balance out your top. </p> <p>Here are a few ideas...</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod78054161&#038;catId=cat303194" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....=cat303194</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod91085161&#038;catId=cat303192" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....=cat303192</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=35666&#038;pid=568311" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=568311</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=39292&#038;pid=564243&#038;scid=564243022" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....=564243022</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-8809 Wed, 28 May 2008 01:29:06 +0000 Julia 8809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you Nicole. Maybe instead of dresses, you could try separated pieces in similar colors to create a 'dress' look? Just a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-8805 Wed, 28 May 2008 01:18:07 +0000 Nicole 8805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HA Very clever Julia! I dunno...it definately looks better as a V neck--no doubt about it--but it's just not working on the rest of me either. I'm going to return the dress. I really do have a difficult time finding dresses that fit me. Even with MAJOR alterations, they never look quite right. </p> <p>It would be one thing if I was one or two sizes different on top than on bottom, but my size difference is so great. That white rouched button down top I posted today is a size 14 at Ny and Co. I don't typically buy tops in numbered sizes. That shirt has a little stretch to it, but it fits me in the bust pretty well. The white Levi jeans--those are 8's. That's a pretty big size discrepency. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-8797 Wed, 28 May 2008 01:04:01 +0000 Julia 8797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, I edited your picture and added the v-neck from another picture of yours to it, it does look better. I think it has potentials.</p> <p><a href="http://s282.photobucket.com/albums/kk271/JuliaYLF/nicole/?action=view&#038;current=nicole.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s282.photobucket.com/al.....nicole.jpg</a></p> <p>What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-8779 Wed, 28 May 2008 00:24:55 +0000 Lannie 8779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the print is a dream; it's exactly the sort of thing I'm hoping to find for a wedding I'll be going to. There does seem to be something slightly off in the fit, but perhaps that could be fixed with alteration? I'm not sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-8775 Wed, 28 May 2008 00:18:18 +0000 Tanya 8775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, it's probably a bit too big at the lower half, I think. I agree with Patience that you could probably find something better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-8773 Wed, 28 May 2008 00:12:22 +0000 Patience 8773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, the dress is not bad, but I think you can do better. It just does not seem to do anything to elongate the torso. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dress#post-8768 Wed, 28 May 2008 00:05:10 +0000 Nicole 8768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, this is the black and white dress I tried on at Kohls, didn't buy, then decided to order it and see if I can have the neck altered into a V-neck. (my mother said no problem).</p> <p>But, I don't think I picked the same print--this one has circles, which I think just accentuates my boobs more. When I was looking online, I couldn't remember which design I tried on. I don't think I like the dress. It might be too big in the waist/hip/bum area. I'll let you guys be the judge. (btw, this would be my fall back dress for my nephew's June wedding...but I'm really not liking it the more I look at it.)</p> <p><a href="http://s289.photobucket.com/albums/ll230/Nichripar/?action=view&#038;current=5-27011.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s289.photobucket.com/al.....-27011.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://s289.photobucket.com/albums/ll230/Nichripar/?action=view&#038;current=5-27012.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s289.photobucket.com/al.....-27012.jpg</a> </p>
